Fundraise for Water

You Can Change Everything

Safe water, reliable sanitation services, and proper hygiene education can change everything. Children are able to stay in school, and people live longer, healthier lives. Access to these basic necessities increases education levels and prosperity for individuals, communities, and countries.

You can help us bring lasting change to people all over the world with a donation, and you can magnify that impact even more by creating a fundraiser.

Have fun with family and friends while raising money for a great cause. Simply choose your event, customize your page, and then share it with friends and family.

Let’s create a world where everyone has water and sanitation solutions — forever.

Gary and Linda De Kock created the Five Rivers Voyage. They traveled by canoe from the Wisconsin River, to the Mississippi, to the Illinois river, to the Des Plaines River, and finally to the Chicago River. Their three-month trip covered a staggering 1,176 river miles.

Lauren and Jack wanted to "spread the love" for their wedding, so they set up a fundraising page as part of their wedding registry.

Team Water For People ran the New York City half marathon. As they wrote on their fundraising page, they wanted to "support Water For People and mirror what millions of people around the world do everyday – travel long distances to collect clean water for their families."
